I just got an idea...

What if you made a game that broke the 4th wall into oblivion?

I shall take this idea and make it my masterpiece. Eventually.

Re: I just got an idea...

That makes no sense
The 4th wall is what separates the characters from the audience

Have you ever heard the expression "Breaking the 4th wall?"

Re: I just got an idea...

Yes, that is what I just explained ....
How can you break the 4th wall into oblivion, though?

It's an expression. It's a whole game that knows it's a game.

Re: I just got an idea...

That's not a very good joke
And yes, obviously the game knows its a game, but the oblivion part does not explain that
Is oblivion the name of the game?

Actually, I was building on your reference- you know, there's that fox in Dora that always tries to steal stuff...

He means scroll back up for an explanation about the 4th wall.
----------
Actually, I have the same question as Blade-Edge - how is it that breaking the 4th wall into oblivion affects gameplay here?

I remember seeing a reference to the fourth wall in a comic, where one of the characters is screaming "The fandom! NOT THE FANDOM!" when the fourth wall is broken and all the fanart characters start spilling from the break in the fourth wall, but I have a feeling that this isn't probably the idea you are thinking about in reference to breaking the 4th wall.

Re: I just got an idea...

I made a game that broke the fourth wall occasionally in passing jokes, but never fully acknowledged it.  Might be an interesting idea.

Re: I just got an idea...

Is the 4th wall the wall that separates the game from the person playing it?

Yes, that is it. If you still have trouble understanding:

Think of a stage, it's like a room with three walls, the fourth wall is the imaginary wall between the stage and the audience watching.
